    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Again, there is no riddle about what I posted. What amuses me, is people who feel compelled to jump into this thread and proclaim it as purile crap. Which is a legitimate position to take. But, why jump in and say that at all without lucid argument. Just ignore it and move on. There are no...

    You'll need to read it again. There is no riddle about montaigne if you simply read the references related to that. I can't do your thinking or legwork for you. You wanted an example, I simply volunteered one for you. It appears you haven't even bothered to google or peruse the thread for...

    Naah, the reason you come back is that deep in your gut you know that this O/P has knowledge to share. But, your hooked because they make you work for that knowledge because its stated in vague ways. That's were the entertainment lies. The rest is pure noise. But, the noise is useful to an...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?
